Chapter 1413
"Rotate the squads manning all the four gates. Let our comrades who've just engaged in battle recover."
"Roger that." The operator in the central command said, broadcasting Carl's orders as ordered.
After a few minutes, new squads moved in, replacing each and every single one of the men who were involved in
the defense effort. In the lounge, the mercenaries who had been involved in the siege were also being treated by
the medical team, resting after they had been patched up.
Thankfully, all of them had a Beacon device on their persons, and with them, their wounds quickly recovered. Carl
then came over to check on their wounds, and upon seeing that everyone was alright, he became relieved,
thanking Nicole in his mind.
Carl then brought the guards around the base for another inspection. As he patrolled, he suddenly spotted a small
door that had been left unguarded. Carl immediately walked over to examine it, and just as he was a foot away
from the door, he heard footfalls outside. Based on his many years of experience, he knew what to do, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtproceeded to make a call at once.
"Get something to barricade this door with." Carl ordered.
His men went on to grab all of the heavy objects that they could find in their vicinity, and placed them against the
door, blocking it.
Carl then summoned another man of his, and ordered, "Get a technician here and have the door welded shut"
"Roger that."
Just as the man had taken his tenth step, a loud bang thundered across the room, and the enemy troops stormed
in, spraying volleys of lead rounds everywhere. As it turned out, they had blown the door up. Carl responded by
leading his men in the retaliation effort, but it was also then that all four gates were under attack once again.
No one had anticipated that their enemies had found an unguarded passage, allowing them to launch another
attack on both fronts.
Carl and the goons of the secret organization then engaged in a fierce battle at the small entranceway.
"Enemy contact at the northern entrance on the first floor. We need those on standby to reinforce it at the double,"
Carl ordered through the walkie-talkie.
Witnessing the organized assault being launched by the enemy, Carl realized that the siege effort was planned, and
that the previous assaults on the four main gates were just a diversion. The main attack had just begun.
He led his men in the counterattack to prevent the secret organization from advancing further, but at this juncture,
they were being outgunned and outmatched, forcing Carl and his men to fall back time and again. As Carl
retreated, the enemy troops advanced, slowly occupying the factory in an almost mechanical pace.
Suddenly, the news of the main gate being lost blared out from Carl's walkie-talkie, rendering him helpless and
furious.
"Olaf, are you done yet?!" Carl called out.
"Not yet. I still need a bit more time. Hold on for a while longer." Olaf's replied, his voice emanating from the walkie-
talkie.
"Alright. I'll give you five more minutes. After that, you'll have to send in the reinforcements no matter how many
units you have equipped!" Carl said, before grabbing his weapon and firing a volley of bullets at the hostiles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"K, we are on the verge of being overwhelmed here," Carl's subordinate reported.
"Hold on for another five minutes. Reinforcements are inbound soon!"
Even after those on standby had joined the battle, they had only managed to push the enemy forces back a little.
Carl did not expect that the secret organization's attack would be so ferocious this time. Based on his
understanding of them, they should not have been able to mount such a potent offense.
Yet, there was no time for him to ponder, for a grenade suddenly came hurtling in before falling to the ground with
a clank. Quick on his feet, Carl grabbed it and hurled it away. Thanks to his quick reflexes, he was spared from a
gruesome fate.
Just as the enemy troops were about to force Carl into a corner, four Braves suddenly emerged from another
direction, their armaments blazing as they methodically surrounded the hostile troops and attacked. With the
Braves' intervention, the tables were turned, and Carl led the Braves in the effort to suppress the attackers and
push them back. Without any recourse, the troops of the secret organization could only fall back to the door and
retreat through it.
After pushing them back, Carl got his men to reinforce and seal the door at once, leaving them to guard it before
leading the Braves to the main gates.
